Information About Your Final Separation Pay

S1 is one of the teams that make up the Separations, branch at PPC.

S1 serves the Servicing Personnel Offices (SPOs) to ensure
that separating members receive the correct pay. Prior to the member's
actual date of separation, the S1 team determines what the member's final
pay will be. S1 then notifies the SPO of pay amounts which differ
from what was projected on the member's previous Leave And Earning Statement
(LES).

S2 reviews the member's case after separation to ensure
pay and leave are zeroed out. Before payment is made, any debts accrued
while in the Coast Guard will be deducted from the member's pay. We will
then pay the member any remaining balance.

SPOs must submit the separation document in a timely manner (on or
before the member's date of separation). For tax purposes, SPOs must update the member's final address in Direct-Access.

Precedence of Collections from Final Pay:

When the amounts due a member are not enough to cover authorized
deductions or collections, amounts are collected in the following sequence.
This is a quick reference for most common debts at time of separation:
